PETA’s new Thanksgiving advertisement
asks, “If You Wouldn’t Eat Your Dog, Why Eat a Turkey?” The
simple answer is, if my dog had wonderfully delicious white meat and
a crispy skin that prepped the palate for the deliciousness that is
cranberry sauce then I’d eat that sonuvabitch, too.

Here is Childish Gambino’s
performance of the new single “Heartbeat” on Conan.
“Heartbeat” appears on the new album Camp.

An Iowa baker has refused to bake a
wedding cake for a lesbian couple who is to be married. Victoria
Childress, who runs her bakery from home, claims that it is her right
as a business owner to turn away whomever she wants, including Trina
Vodraska and Janelle Sievers, who planned to be married in June. "I
said, 'I'll tell you I'm a Christian, and I do have convictions.' And
I said, 'I'm sorry to tell you, but I'm not going to be able to do
your cake,' " said Childress, who met the couple during a
taste-testing appointment. "I didn't do the cake because of my
convictions for their lifestyle. It is my right, and it's not to
discriminate against them. It's not so much to do with them, it's to
do with me and my walk with God and what I will answer [to] Him for."

Childress says there were no derogatory
remarks made but the couple left feeling insulted. "It was
degrading," Vodraska said. “It was like she chastised us for
wanting to do business with her."

Other bakers in the area have come to
the couple's defense, such as Amanda Laurich of Three Chicks Bakery.
"It is a business. It's about the people. It's about making the
people happy, too." And not using Betty Crocker cake mix.
